The Broken Chain

Buy This Item The Broken Chain by Turner Home Entertainment  Available from Amazon  $14.98  on 9-23-2008     Every group has its proverbial king David and Thayendenaga certainly lead a life that matches that of the Israilite king. <br /> <br />He was a modest man who did rise from common ranks to become a great leader. He did have his marital problems. He certainly shared the King's problems with his own offspring. Yet he managed to rise above these things to become a great leader of his people while at the same time made himself a civilized man. <br /> <br />Unfortunatly, this film fails to tell his story. Great costuming. Beutiful scenery and village settings. Authentic buildings. The plot was pathetic and often plodding in its work. Perhaps subject to political correctness's revisions, this film fails the man. <br /> <br />It failed to show he was a Christian. It failed to show he was compassionate and caring. It failed to show his activities as a Freemason. It failed to show in a place of great barbarity and depravity practiced on both sides, this man refused to be part of the evils of the times. Many colonials actually owe him their lives. This man was a gentleman but this film failed to show him despite his many actions. <br /> <br />Overall, good for visuallizing, a fair story but appears to have been partly done on the cheap. Reader Reviews I am a huge fan of Eric Schweig so I may be a little partial to any of his flicks. I did buy this movie from e-bay for my ERIC collection, (13 flicks total) AAH!! It wasn't bad for a TV flick. What can you really show viewers in just a one or two hour movie? I think it showed how supporting the backstabbing British did the 6 nations in. Eric did a great job in his role and he's not too bad to look at either. LUV YA, ERIC! I think more flicks like this need to be made to show the truth in what the white man did to the Native population. From starving them, paying for indian scalps,shipping them to Florida ,to infecting them with smallpox on blankets. You can get farther in this world with peace and compassion than fear and ignorance. PEACE :)
